Explore Math is more than a full-year curriculum for secondary students participating in alternate assessments based on alternate achievement standards. The curriculum includes Student Books with corresponding Teacher Manuals. Student Books focus on functional math concepts like spending money, telling time, keeping a calendar, following maps, reading graphs, and understanding paychecks. Engaging photos illustrate real life situations and give students visual cues to solve math problems. Teacher Manuals are organized as lessons, each with an objective, material list, and step-by step procedure.
